John Carson - 15526

British actor.

After making his film debut in 1947, Carson carved out a career appearing in low-budget British films such as Seven Keys (1961); Smokescreen (1964); and Master Spy (1964). His saturnine looks and sinister voice (sometimes compared with James Mason) led to him starring in a number of horror films including The Night Caller (1965); The Plague of the Zombies (1966); The Man Who Haunted Himself (1970); Taste the Blood of Dracula (1970); and Captain Kronos Ð Vampire Hunter (1972).

Beside his appearances in horror films he was also known for his many villainous roles in adventure series of the 1960s, such as The Adventures of Robin Hood; The Avengers; The Saint; Adam Adamant Lives!; The Baron; Man in a Suitcase; The Champions and Department S.

This is a very fine black and white photograph (5" x 3.5"), signed and inscribed ("To John, From John Carson ") in black ink across the lower white panel. The inscription is largely over a dark area of the image. In very good condition.
